Asana is a web and mobile work management platform designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work.
With the Asana app, you can:
Link Qase test cases, test runs, and defects to Asana tasks
Create a new Asana task or connect an existing Asana task when you file a defect during a test run in Qase
Keep the status of a Qase defect and its linked Asana task in sync, in both directions.

Usage
First, copy your task link from Asana -
1. Linking a Qase test case:
In the repository, select a test case and in the right sidebar, switch to Properties
Scroll down to the “Link with Apps” dropdown and select “Asana”
Paste your Asana task link into the field then hit “Link”
The linked Asana tasks will appear below the “Link With Apps” field
To unlink the Asana task, click “x” next to the task's title
2. Linking a Qase test run:
Navigate to the Test run you want to link to Asana
Click on “Select an Integration”
In the Integration dropdown, select Asana
Insert the Asana task link into the field and click “Link”
The linked Asana tasks will appear below “External Issues”
To unlink the Asana task, click on the Trash icon next to it and it will be unlinked:
3. Linking a Qase defect
Go to the Qase defect you want to link to Asana
In the right sidebar, find the “Link with Apps” dropdown and select “Asana”
Paste your Asana task link into the field then hit “Link”
The linked Asana tasks will appear below the “Link With Apps” field and will also be visible from the main Defects view.
To unlink the Asana task, click “x” next to the task's title
4. Create an Asana task from a Qase Test run:
Inside the test run wizard, marking your test steps or test case as “Failed” or “Blocked” (or “Invalid” for test cases) will provide you with the option to “Create/Attach Defect”.
In the Defect creation form, the “Choose Integration” is available when you “Use existing” or “Create new Defect. You can select “Asana” and click on “Add defect”:
Fill in the details including the Asana Workspace, Team (if any) and Project, then hit “Create”:
Or you can select “Link” from the top tab and paste your existing Asana task link and click “Link”.
In the Qase Defect, you will now have connected a new or existing Asana issue link.
5. Status sync between Qase and Asana
Once a defect is linked to an Asana task, a status change on either side updates the other.
When you… | This happens |
Mark the defect Resolved or Invalid in Qase | The Asana task is marked complete |
Set the defect back to Open or In progress in Qase | The Asana task is marked incomplete |
Mark the task complete in Asana | The defect becomes Resolved |
Mark the task incomplete in Asana | The defect becomes Open |
Changes made in Asana only update defects that are still Open or In progress. If a defect is already Resolved or Invalid, reopening the task in Asana does not reopen it. Reopen the defect in Qase instead, and the task follows.
